  • Local Government in Rural Areas
    The Local Government and Rating Bill 1996/97 [Bill 2 of 1996/97]: Local Government in Rural Areas Research Paper 96/98 1 November 1996 The Local Government and Rating Bill is principally concerned with implementing proposals contained in the rural white paper Rural England [Cm 3016] and the Scottish and Welsh rural white papers [Cm 3041, 3180]. It would introduce a scheme of rate relief for village shops and post offices in England, Scotland and Wales [part I]. Parish and community councils in England and Wales would be given new powers to help prevent crime and to provide community transport [part III]. New procedures would be established for creating and consulting parish councils in England [part II]. The Bill also contains two non-domestic rating measures which were not proposed in the rural white papers, namely the removal of crown exemption and the exemption from rates liability of sporting rights. This paper also considers some of the proposals concerning local government in the English rural white paper which do not need primary legislation. These include Government proposals for rural planning policy and a review of the weight which is given to sparsity in calculating the Standard Spending Assessment. Edward Wood Home Affairs Section House of Commons Library Introduction and Summary Most of the provisions in this Bill stem from commitments made in one or more of the rural white papers, Rural England [Cm 3016, October 1995], Rural Scotland, people, prosperity and partnership [Cm 3041, December 1995] and A Working Countryside for Wales [Cm 3180, March 1996]. Part I of the Bill would would introduce a scheme of rate relief for village shops and post offices in England, Scotland and Wales.

  • Employment Land Study 2008
    Appendix One THE ECONOMY The Workplace Economy Industrial Structure Broad Sectors 1.1 In 2005, there were approximately 114,200 employee jobs in Doncaster1. 1.2 Figure 1 shows the composition of these jobs by broad sector and compares the structure of employment in Doncaster with neighbouring authorities and the regional average. It shows that the Yorkshire and Humber region differs slightly from the national employment structure as it has a higher proportion of jobs in manufacturing and public administration and a lower share of jobs in other financial business services. The structure of the South Yorkshire economy is similar to the overall regional employment structure. However, Doncaster’s employment structure differs slightly from the average across South Yorkshire as it has a lower proportion of employment in business services and a greater proportion in public administration. Business Services in Doncaster accounts for 9% of total employment, 3% below the sub-regional average. Employment in Public Administration, Education and Health accounts for 31% of employment in Doncaster, 2% more than the Sub-regional average. 1.3 Amongst the districts, Bassetlaw has the highest proportion of manufacturing jobs, accounting for 19% of the district’s total employment. Sheffield has the highest proportion of business services jobs, providing 14% of the total employment.

  • DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear
    DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear President, Dear Friend in Magic, My philosophy has always been this: “facts speak for themselves”. You can check what I did in these three/six years, with the precious help of the Int. Vice Presidents and the Consultancy Groups, in my triennial report that will be sent to you soon. There is still a lot to do of course and this is why I am asking for the re-election (according to our Statutes for the last period of three years possible,) to accomplish something that is very important to me, since one of the main goals of FISM is to improve Magic and to raise the level of Magicians: - FISM Competition Compliance System (CCS) that will provide rules and services to Associated Societies to better Qualify their Competition and promote them as FISM Compliance Competition. - FISM Jury Qualification System (JQS) selecting and training qualified Judges to assure uniformed and high-quality judging all over the World. - To go on promoting FISM also outside the world of magic (including Academies and Universities). The Fism Board is already working on this matter and the success of the project matters to me. I want to thank you all for the support you gave to me and the Board during these years. It is a great reward for the really hard job we did. Kindest regards Domenico Dante DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear President, Dear Friend in Magic, Ma philosophie a toujours été celle-ci : « Les faits parlent d’eux-mêmes ». Vous pourrez vérifier tout ce que j’ai accompli durant ces trois/six ans, avec la précieuse collaboration de mes deux vice-présidents et des Consultancy Groups, dans mon rapport triennal que vous recevrez sous peu.
